Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries: Literature Review on ACL Reconstruction With InternalBrace™ Technique

Patrick A. Smith, MD (Naples, FL), reviews impactful translational, biomechanical, and clinical research on ACL reconstruction using the InternalBrace™ technique. Dr. Smith also reviews return-to-sport and reinjury rates in young, high-risk athletes undergoing primary ACL reconstruction with and without the addition of a FiberTape® suture for the InternalBrace technique.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
